draper40 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hey, After completing a 8hour marathon journey to Devon then back again I have decided that I could definitely do with a 1.222 transfer gear as I do quite a bit of motorway cruising and no towing. Would the best way to achieve this be to buy the gears and fit them into my box or buy a disco box? The disco box seems like a cheaper option but are there any limitations with regard to fitting? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The boxes are the same I think, just swap over any external brackets like handbrake etc. to suit your vehicle. I would just swap the box if you can find a known good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think I'm right in saying the disco box is a direct swap . That would be the way I would do it rather than taking the box apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 So any LT230 box 200tdi, 300tdi, (td5?) should be able to bolt straight on? And although I have had it confirmed by the guy who rebuilt my gearbox, what would be the surefire way of ensuring a) i have a 1.4 and b) the new one is definately a 1.22 without relying on labelling?

MrKev Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have one for sale that is definitely 1.2, off my disco. Has the newer input gear too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Some TD5's didn't have the 4wd locker fitted. Easy to check for though. I got a 300tdi disco transfer box on my 200tdi defender and its fine. Its worth checking that the 4wd selects easily though. If ya get stuck for this then i do have a good box for sale, only thing is that i am in cumbria.
